Judgment

Mr. Harkesh Manuja, J. :-

CM-4447-C-2019 in RA-RS-34-2019 in RSA-820-1996

This is an application seeking condonation of delay of 2512 days in filing the review application.

It has been averred in the application that the applicant gained knowledge about the decision dated 27.03.2012 in the main appeal only when one of the tenants of the suit property, namely, Malkiat Singh informed him about the ejectment petition filed by Naveen Aggarwal before the Rent Controller, Chandigarh, claiming himself to be its 100 % owner. It has further been averred that Dr. Ravinder Pal Singh entered into compromise illegally on the basis of the power of attorney, whereas, he was never authorized in this regard. It was thus argued by learned counsel for the respondent / applicant that sufficient explanation was provided in the application which could not be termed as an “excuse”.

This application was vehemently opposed by learned counsel for the appellants/non-applicants while submitting that no sufficient reasons were specified for the delay and even the specific date on which the knowledge about the aforesaid decision was obtained was never disclosed and therefore, this application was liable to
